The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 10 calories for USDA reference amount at 32 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 31 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.9 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 7 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cauliflower, green, raw, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 8–20 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709771: “Broccoflower, raw.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2709771, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 floweret” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 floweretUSDA-listed household measure | 25 g | 8 kcal | 0.7 g | 0.8 g | 6 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 32 g | 10 kcal | 0.9 g | 1 g | 7 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 64 g | 20 kcal | 1.9 g | 2 g | 15 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Other vegetables and combinations
The comparison set contains 122 exact records in the Other vegetables and combinations USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2709771’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709771’s 32 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

≈ 31% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Broccoflower, raw,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709880 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 floweret to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 25 g and 64 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 8 kcal to 20 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709880
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.7 g less total fat than “Broccoflower, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Cauliflower, green, raw
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “raw” fits. Inspect FDC 2709880 when “cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2709771 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Broccoflower, raw” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Cauliflower, green, raw is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 24 less calories, 2.7 g less total fat, and 126 mg less sodium than “Broccoflower, cooked.”
Only the comparison record lists Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Cauliflower, green, raw.
Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 32 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (64 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 45 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (90 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709771 with FDC 2709880 at equal mass; use their 32 g and 45 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709771 versus FDC 2709880 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Broccoflower, raw,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
raw versus cooked weight
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 03
cooking method
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 04
added fat or sauce
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2709771 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 31 kcal per 100 g becomes 10 kcal at 32 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709771
FNDDS food code: 75102600
The scaling for FDC 2709771 can be exact while the match to “Broccoflower, raw” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 32 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
